Everyone should already know about this but Vampire Weekend released their sophomore album this year. On this track, they speed it up--tampering with the schema of jaunty calypso pop we're all used to. "Cousins" is furious and sharp but the New York boys keep themselves intact. Video directed by Garth Jennings.
Bonus: Check out this 2009 track from Discovery. Vampire Weekend keyboardist, Rostam Batmanglij, takes a quick break from the usual rapid fire riffs to team up with Wes Miles of Ra Ra Riot. This beat has it all from an enormous bass drop and punchy synths to reggaeton sections and tasteful falsetto.
